In early November of that year, nine months after he entered free agency, Wes was transferred to a practice facility in St. Louis, which is located inland in eastern Missouri. It is barbecue country, where many fine briskets and rib slabs are cooked. Les Snead, the general manager of the Rams-Team Front Office,

I think the NFL (and personally speaking, the Giants) have done enough damage to our sporting psyches these last few days that maybe perhaps we should give some other sports a chance to heal those wounds. For the soccer (don't start) fellas the U.S. is playing Trinidad AND Tobago. Why

Owners To New Players: KEEP OUT

SonOfSpam - November 17, 2015November 17, 2015

Responding to fallout from pictures of injuries inflicted by Greg Hardy on his girlfriend, several NFL team owners are calling for a halt to drafting new players into the league. "Every time a player screws up, it's someone who played in college," said Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones. "We think it's

This week we had a lot of head scratches. Arizona showed they have mastered themselves by turning the ball over 3 times and still walking away with a road victory. The Texans showed that once you have nothing left to lose you have the whole world to gain. And I

AWWWOOOOOOOOO

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - November 17, 2015

So it happened. Rob Ryan has officially been callously booted from the sinking riverboat that is the Neyw Orlins Saints. I come to bury Caligula, not to praise him. Yes, I sorta shit on Rob in my season preview, noting that his name outstripped his numbers. And yes, his defense has

Hou @ Cin: Coach O'Brien of the Texans admitted to his team that benching Hoyer after the first game of the season was a mistake. If only more "leaders of men" were so forthcoming. At 3-5 Houston (who?) is a half-game out of first and one game removed from last

DFOing Good

Duchess - November 16, 2015November 16, 2015

Week 10 has come and went like a so many weeks before us. Some interesting things to think about. In Week 10, 10 was a very lucky number. 10 of 13 visiting teams won. Tampa Bay won with a score of 10 while Tennesse lost with a score of 10.

Playoffs AND Bust

blaxabbath - November 16, 2015November 16, 2015

The 2015 NFL season is bad. I mean, top to bottom atrocious. Pretty much starting with the conclusion of the 2014 season where the P*tri*ts were awarded the Lombardi trophy in the midst of a multi-million dollar investigation into their latest cheating venture, I'd say ineptness is the term to describe

Around this time every year…

Old School Zero - November 16, 2015November 16, 2015

Around this time every year, for the past few years, I get this cough. It feels like I get suddenly somewhat congestion, and just start coughing off and on. Sometimes, especially at night, it gets really bad and I get super wheezy and can’t sleep easily until I take something

Oh, we have seen some herp. And we have seen some derp. But Week Ten was chock full of some truly special stuff. Start with the bestest. Elvis Dumervil. I can't even. The Jaguras, without even enough time to run a spike play, barely get the
